    Basic Green Smoothie Recipe

    I am so excited to share this Basic Green Smoothie Recipe with you!  I mentioned several days ago on facebook that I learned how to make green smoothies at a class. It was awesome! I am so excited to share with you the basic green smoothie recipe from the class.  I have been enjoying a green smoothie every morning since the class. Each smoothie has approximately 200 or less calories and is PACKED full of fruits, vegetables, minerals and nutrients. I am so excited.

    I can tell you my energy level is amazing. One tip that I learned is to use lemon essential oil or lemon rind (but in my opinion the lemon essential oil works better) to take the "bite" out of the greens. I also learned that by adding ½ cup or so berries you will turn your smoothie to a beautiful shade of pink and it tastes just a little better 😉  A great tip is to freeze your own fruit when it is a stockpile price. I hope you enjoy!  You can even freeze green smoothies. 

    I love to freeze ingredients for my green smoothies!  It saves me time and money!

      Melissa, have you tried "ice dream"? Here's one of my favorite recipes:
      1/4 c pomgranite juice (or any similar liquid)
      1 frozen banana
      about 1 cup crushed ice
      Liquify in a VitaMix

      Decrease the speed and add
      a handful of unsalted almonds
      few pieces of semi sweet chocolate bits
